That's really adorable. Nothing wrong with a mom and daughter pedi. I miss my mom and I can tell you that those sweet little moments keep her close to me :)

I get what you're saying. I'm deathly white and need foundation, powder, and blush to look like I belong with the living. And I have oily and somewhat sensitive skin. One super cheap trick that makes my foundation last all day and stretches out how much I use is cucumber gel. No particular brand, but you can get a…

I must be magically impervious to all of these evil flight attendants. I’ve logged hundreds of flights and thousands of miles in the past 25 years and I have never witnessed these atrocious, mean, safety crazy ogres of the skies. That is not to say they don’t exist. It’s easy to say that the uptight nature of some…

I'm most definitely female. Andy is a short for.

I've done that. Same place (different day), another woman actually started snapping her fingers at the girl to get her a magazine, water, etc. I'm usually polite and cool headed, but this lady pushed me over the edge. I knew that nasty piece of work undertipped because while we were in line paying I played stupid…

You’re welcome. Guess what? That was 1 of 4 nests we found in the hollow above our front door.

Yes, yes they are. Hornets are the biggest assholes of all. I’m biased though.

Thank you, I appreciate the insight. I was the tangly hair kid myself :)

If we were talking about services that were impossible to do yourself and were essential, I'd be a lot more sympathetic to those that can't do anything at all because the custom of tipping makes things unaffordable. Dining out and beauty related services are luxuries. Yes, it can suck to have to color your own hair,…

This whole discussion had been very enlightening. I'm a bit troubled by one thing I keep seeing over and over again...parents feeling the need to tip large amounts because kids can be difficult and time consuming. They're kids. It's not exactly unexpected that they aren't going to cooperate 100% of the time. I…

He did and they butchered his hair.

You're not crazy. Real Simple had an article about tipping back in December that stated this. It also addressed bonuses which is another ball of wax entirely. Perhaps in an upcoming Millihelen post.

For some reason it's not uncommon where I live. Some people have more money than sense.

I really fucking think I don't care.

Exactly. She was obnoxious. I felt sorry for her little girl who was amazingly well behaved.

Same goes for some pets. We used to call haircut, bath, and nail trimming day Dog Rodeo. My husband and I must have been a sight chasing our unruly little devils around. Note to all: never try to nip a male dog's nails while they are on their backs. There is a good chance you'll end up with pee in your eyes. Kids…

Not only that, but it takes time. Time that she could have been using to do a pedi on a tipping adult.

What about kids and pets?

I was thinking the same thing. My husband pays $35 and doesn't require any complicated cutting/styling. He likes his guy, so he tips him $10.

Why does this guys hair look like a combover? His bangs. MThat’s just not a good look.
